AceShowbiz - Gary Owen's former wife Kenya Duke has spoken out against the comedian following his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast. In an Instagram post on Thursday, May 9, Kenya wrote a lengthy message blasting her ex for not respecting "their boundaries."
Tagging the comedian, Kenya wrote in the caption, "it has been 3 years. I am always kind and cool with you. I purposely, never make it awkward. I never bother you." She continued, "I have given you my suggestions on the situation but you don't respect their boundaries. Which is why you discussed this again on social media."
Concluding her rant, Kenya added, "I don't know what else to do to help you. Always wishing you well."
In the post, she included a picture in which she wrote, "My growth is not feeling the need to address mistruths anymore. The grace and kindness, I have shown you, is the space to tell lies and false narratives for sympathy and attention without correcting. You are a great storyteller… sometimes I get caught up in your versions. @garyowencomedy."
Internet users, however, didn't think anything wrong from Gary's comments on his recent interview that warranted such reaction from Kenya. "I hope that she stretched before this REACH. Bcz that man didn't say ANYTHING bad about her and he took ALL of the accountability. Let's wrap this up please it's nothing to see here but a hurt woman who has turned it into bitterness. Please HEAL Beloved we tiyuuuuuurd," one Instagram user commented.
"No one can convince me that she didn't have a VERY big part in alienating his kids from him. You can be a terrible spouse but a good parent, his kids were grown AF when they divorced so if they have issues, FTK," another added.
In the said episode of "Club Shay Shay", Gary revealed he hasn't seen his now-grown children, son Austin and daughter Kennedy, since his split from Kenya. "I'll take the blame," he said on the podcast. "I didn't ensure that my relationship with them was so strong that no matter what anybody said to them they can be like, 'Nah, my dad is good.' "
"I just don't know where it got so bad that I'm just the worst human being on the planet," he continued. "At this point, I don't know how to reconcile the relationship. I'm just letting them know that I love them, I'm proud of them, and whenever they call I'm there."
